Lifestyle in Different Industries
Essay by Zomby • December 4, 2011 • Essay • 261 Words (2 Pages) • 1,817 Views
One of the most common questions I get is how the lifestyle
in different industries differs.
Everything from the hours worked to travel to your co-workers
to your budget and the number of bottles you can buy with
that budget.
But I'm not the best source on all those questions, because
most of my experience has been in investment banking, and
before that at Fortune 500 companies.
Luckily, one of my friends from university back in the day -
Zeke Lee - has had a lot more experience than me and has
worked in everything from trading to management consulting
to his own business.
And today he's going to tell you exactly how the lifestyle
in each one of these industries is different, including:
-How your physical location and the travel requirements
differ, and the chances of getting stuck mining for gold
in Saskatchewan as a consultant.
-Why trading, believe it or not, may give you the best
hours, or at least the most predictable ones.
-Why consulting wins for co-worker interaction (hint: you'll
never have to do dry cleaning or pick up lunch for your
superiors).
-Whether fashion matters in any of these fields, and how
much you need to worry about buying expensive clothes.
-The different types of stress you'll encounter - from
the markets to crazy clients to not knowing where your next
paycheck is coming from.
-Budgets and bottles: Where you get paid the most, in the
average case and the "ceiling" case.
